SHAZAM! Johns writing Captain Marvel movie

Superscribe Geoff Johns has reportedly been named as co-writer for a live action Shazam! movie according to THR. Johns, who has also been slated to write and produce a Flash movie, along with co-writer Billy Birch are said to be “starting fresh” with the Captain Marvel script, after a number of false starts recently.

No official word from Johns yet, or from DC on a potential release date, although 2011 was originally scheduled.
